    Title of paper: Risk of Parkinson’s disease in people with New Onset Anxiety over 50 years - Incidence and Associated Features

    Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2023.0423

    Presence of anxiety is known to be increased in the prodrome of Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study investigated the risk of developing PD in people with anxiety compared with those without anxiety, accounting for a number of confounding variables. The results suggest that there is a strong association between anxiety and later diagnosis of PD in patients aged ≥50 years who present with a new diagnosis of anxiety. This provides evidence for anxiety as a prodromal presentation of PD.
